(Prepared b y the United States Department of Agriculture.) The best kinds of dry roughage for feeding dairy cows in connection with terest of the American people in their railroads.

Why, the chances are that It sets him dreaming of the day when hell be grown up enough to be a hrakeman or even a conductor or fcn engineer. What do the people of the country town do at train time? Why, they go own to the station to see the train arrive and depart, of course. Why does Chicago boast of being the railroad center of the United States? Because no city can make a prouder boast What occupies the attention of congress quite as much as peace treaties, disarmament and taxes? Why, the railroad problem. 1 In short, the railroads are just as much a part of the national life as baseball, the com crop and the Fourth of July. And no wonder! One hundred years ago the United States did not have a mile of steam railroad (neither did any other country, for that matter). Now the United States has 266,381 miles, while all the rest of the world has only 732,800 miles. Canada has 38,604 miles ; France, 31,958; the' British Isles com silage or roots are leguminous hays, such as alfalfa, red, crimson, or alslke clover, and soy bean or cow-pe- a hay, in the .opinion of experts of the United States Department of Agriculture. While com silage is an excellent feed, it is not a balanced one, as it does not contain sufficient protein and mineral matter to meet fully the requirements of the cow. The leguminous hays, in addition to being very palatable, tend to correct this deficiency. They are also among the best and cheapest sources of protein. One or more of these hays can be grown on practically any farm. Jn addition to their value for feeding purposes, they Improve the soil in which they grow. Hay from Canada field peas, sown with oats to prevent the peas from lodging, ' also makes -an excellent roughage. Corn stover, sorghum,' etc, also find a good market through the, dairy cow. . This class of roughage is low in protein, .however, and when it is used the grain ration must, be richer in this element. No positive rule can be laid down as to the quantity of dry roughage that should be fed, but from 6 to 12 pounds a day for each cow, in addition to silage, will be found satisfactory . In most cases. , When the dry roughage is of poor quality, such as coarse, woody hay or a poor grade of cornstalks, a large portion can often be given to advantage, allowing the cow to pick out the best and .using the rejected part for bedding. With this quantity of dry rough-ag- e the cow will take, according to I 23.-70- 9. - - 'i In 1830 there were but 23 miles of railroad in operation in the United States. By 1840 the mileage had increased to 2,818 and by 1850 to 0,021. In the decade between 1850 and 1860 tb mileage increased to 30,620. This was a time of swift expansion and of grants of land and money. In fact, one of the causes of the panic of 1857 was the overcapitalization and overbuilding of railroads. It was in 1857 that a line was completed from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, linking Baltimore and St. Louis. Another period of great expansion began in 1867, after the practical standstill caused by the Civil war. This expansion period lasted till the panic of 1873. The mileage increased fit the rate of 4,400 miles a year; in 1870 no less than 6,078 miles of new track were built. It was May 10, 1869, that the first line across the continent was completed by the meeting of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific at Salt Lake City and the driving of the famous Golden Spike. i But the biggest expansion period of all was the decade beginning with 1880, in which 70,000 miles were built; no less than 29,000 In the years 1880-8miles were built, principally in the pentral and Western states. This was a time of railroad speculation; railroads were frequently built in advance of the demand and even preceded the settlers. Since 1884 railroad building has been more conservative and much of the construction has gone into second and third tracks and ments. , Thousands of Americans, still hale and hearty, have seen the oil lamp replaced on the railroads by compressed gas and by electric lights; the advent of the Pullman and the dining car ; the growth of the mall and express service; the building of palatial terminal depots in cities like New York, Chicago, Washington and Kansas City. They well remember the establishment of the "fast trains which called forth Vanderbilts famous, The public be d d Many of them hope to see the era of electrification, which is just beginning, well under way. The truth is that the railroads bulk large on our national horizon. There are now about 75 big systems. Some 2 1 -- Origin of Buttons. Wanted to Know Papas 8tatus .

It is possible to protect polished metal surfaces by applying several coats of cold lecquer or celluloid varnish. The lacquer should be applied with a brass camels hair brush, after the metal has been highly polished. There must be no trace of grease on the brass or other metal when It Is lacquered.

They have a capital stock of about funded debts of about property investments of about $18,250,000,000 and annual operating revenues of about $5,000,000,000. They have morev than 1,800,000 emwhose Compensation totals ployees more than $2,606,000,600 a year. They have about 64,000 locomotives, 54,000 passenger cars and 2,350,0000 freight cars, tfhey transport more than 2,300,- 000.- 000 tons of freight a year. Moreover, few public questions ha vie played a greater role in American politics in the last 20 years than the regulation, either state or federal, of the railroads. And perhaps they have never been a bigger question than right pow. As everyone knows, the railroads went under the operation and control of the federal government d firing the World war ; wages of employees were Increased ; freight and passenger rates were Increased. The railroads were returned to their owners March 1, 1920. The governments loss In the operation of the railroads while under federal control was over $900,000,000. May 1, 1920, the railroad labor board granted wage increases to about 1,800,-00- 0 employees, aggregating $600,000,-00August 27, 1920, the Interstate commerce commission granted to the railroads increases in freight and passenger rates to enable them to meet the increased' cost of operation caused by the war, to rehabilitate and expand Jhe equipment and to meet the advance in v ages granted by the railroad e labor board. Nineteen hundred saw the public demanding lower freight rates and the railroads and their employees considering the reduction of wages. No wonder, then, that the historic DeWitt Clinton train of 1831 Is a double object lesson In American railroads. It dates back to the railroad beginnings of this country and of the world. Crowds go to see it whenever opportunity offers. A recent trip from New York to Chicago was a sort of railroad royal progress. This granddaddy of locomotives, partly rebuilt, was put under steam and was run over a mile on the west side tracks of the New York Central on Manhattan island, attaining a speed of 12 miles an hour. To turn back the pages to 1831 the picture, a group of railroad office girls, gowned in pinafores, hoopskirts and poke bonnets, such as were worn rode on by their the coaches in the presence of the big crowds of people, who laughed and cheered.
